Cerha Hempel Head of Competition Marton Kocsis has been promoted to Partner with the firm's Budapest office.
Kocsis, who re-joined Cerha Hempel in 2020 after spending a year as the Chief Compliance Counsel with Mol (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on April 6, 2020), has been at the helm of the firm's Competition practice for two years.
According to Cerha Hempel, Kocsis “spent almost eight years at the Hungarian Competition Office and the European Commission before joining the firm in 2015, where he has worked with Tamas Polauf to establish one of Hungary’s largest competition law practices. Kocsis has been in charge of the competition law team since 2020, which under his leadership has added consumer protection and general compliance to the areas covered by the team.”
“I am infinitely grateful to the firm’s partners, and particularly the management, for their support, and not only in connection with becoming a partner, but also for their unwavering trust in me during my time here,” commented Kocsis. “I’m also immensely proud of the members of our team because my being made partner is also recognition of their hard work and therefore arguably it’s a success for all of us.”
“We welcome [Marton] Kocsis as a new member of our partnership,” added Managing Partner Tomas Polauf. “He is not only one of the best in his field but he also has outstanding business development and client management skills, as our clients consistently attest.”
